Manchester United legend Andy Cole expects the club to sign another top striker this summer.
Ole Gunnar Solskjaer has hinted he will begin a huge rebuilding job at Old Trafford this summer after the Red Devils’ disappointing season.
United missed out on Champions League football as they finished sixth in the Premier League table – a full 32 points behind champions Manchester City.
Towards the end of the campaign, the manager issued a warning to his squad, telling the press: “There’s a chance you’ve seen the last of some players. We weren’t good enough… the table seldom lies.”
The Norwegian has also been open about the type of players he will target this summer, saying he wants to ‘set the culture right’ at Old Trafford after a roller-coaster season on and off the pitch and, if gossip is to believed, inside the dressing room.
LATEST TRANSFER GOSSIP
United struggled for a regular source of goals this season, with Romelu Lukaku and Marcus Rashford both failing to reach the 20 mark. Their top scorer all season was midfielder Paul Pogba, who netted 19 times in all competitions.
And treble-winning former striker Cole – now an ambassador for the club – believes a new frontman will be high on United’s list.
Bayern Munich’s Robert Lewandowski, Juventus’ Paulo Dybala and former Celtic star Moussa Dembele have all been linked with a move to Old Trafford ahead of the upcoming summer transfer window.
Speaking to talkSPORT host Jim White, Cole said: “Manchester United have always been a club that will buy centre-forwards, that’s the tradition of the club.
“I can’t see that changing, because they’ve already spent big money on centre-forwards.
“Will they add another one? Most probably they will, because to win the championship, to win anything you need to score goals and you need as many goals you can get in the team.
“So it wouldn’t surprise me if they bought another centre forward.”
